Thanks, I'm in central Texas.We are under flood conditions now. My family at the coast still has a house to return to. My daughter is stuck on a cruise ship. At least she got a free day in New Orleans. Waiting for Galeston port to open.Dan

We have had a total of 16" of rain here but I am on a high spot and water drains away adequately. They are evacuating some neighborhoods a mile or so away. This is shaping up to be the worst flood in Houston's history. And they are forecasting the final rain totals will be double what we have already had.

We had a break in the rain starting last night through this morning. Now it is raining again, but it is light enough that it is running off and not accumulating. I feel we are very lucky here. Other areas have been devastated though.

They are saying that we got 26" of rain. But we had no problems and the sun is out today. We have heard that there will be shortages of food and fuel for weeks. The airports are still closed. A little bit like living in a war zone. But still feel very fortunate.

Large areas of Houston are flooded. And Beaumont and Port Arthur are in really bad shape. There will be a long period of recovery for these areas. Some of the neighborhoods in Houston will have high water for days. They are not allowing people to re-enter the areas due to continuing hazards. I may be re-entering the workplace as an environmental engineer to join the recovery efforts.
